What do you all think of the theory of Aksumite rule reaching modern day Somaliland? Some quotes suggest this
“I subjugated the peoples of Rauso who live in the midst of incense-gathering Barbarians between great waterless plains, and I subjugated the people of Solate, whom I ordered to guard the coasts of the sea. All these people, enclosed by mighty mountains”
"I have set all this down from a desire to show that he is quite correct in taking the land of Sasu and Barbaria to lie at the extremity of Ethiopia, since he had subjugated all these regions and the tribes by which they were inhabited, most of which we ourselves have seen, while about the rest we obtained accurate information when we were in their neighbourhood."
There are also the Christian burial sites, artifacts and mounds found in northern Somalia to further support it. It sounds interesting, what do you think?
